Volunteers assist the elderly at home, as the need arises. The members of the centre are also encouraged to assist one another with basic chores, such as collecting medication from the chemist or doing shopping and laundry.

Volunteers assist us in managing the feeding schemes in disadvantaged communities. Through these schemes we aim to tackle the growing problem of poverty by providing balanced meals and clothing donated by the public.

One of our main aims is to keep the elderly active in the community. We transport them to and from the centre, so that they can interact with others and take part in daily programmes. Transport is also provided to and from Hospitals, clinics and shopping centres, on day trips and other outings.

These outreach projects keep the elderly involved in the community, helps to address poverty, involves the public and makes them part of our welfare projects. Some of our projects include an AIDS programme in Philippi and support of shelters for battered women and children. Seeing the desperate needs of others allows our members, and the public, to look away from their own problems, and to focus on helping others overcome theirs.

This service is dependant on the work of our volunteers, who make sure that food is delivered to the doors of the housebound elderly. There is an important link between the centre, the volunteers and the public, who keep us informed of the needs in the community.
